We
can now reveal our longlist of finalists in the annual short story competition.
The task of judging is shared between all of our members, and these are the
ones that stand out so far. At this stage, none of us knows who the authors
are, so no names will appear until the finalists are chosen. But whoever you
are, congratulations! And to all the entrants, many thanks and keep
writing.

It will be published as an ebook in the second half of this year, and in paperback early in 2017. The next step is the cover design, which should be ready in the new year. Watch this space…
